These are attractive and very well made but they are difficult to put on. I read other reviews and ignored their warning. The cut is such that even with a shoe horn they have to be worked on and you have to unbuckle and rebuckle them. It's a pain but once on they are comfortable and very attractive. I've seen people wearing these same boots and they were very worn so I suspect they get easier to put on and off but be careful. If you don't want to fuss these boots are probably not for you.
